Nautical
Institute launchesShiphandling Logbook

Shiphandling is probably the most
important skill for mariners and one of the most difficult to practice. The
Nautical Institute recognises the value of gaining sea-time experience and
developing shiphandling skills and has developed the Shiphandling Logbook,
which was launched recently.

This logbook aims to provide users
with an essential tool to help them manage the development of their shiphandling
skills and take advantage of training opportunities. Mariners will be able to
record and reflect on their experiences, provide evidence of what has been
learned, identify gaps and be encouraged to take opportunities to learn more.

The Nautical Institute’s Director
of Projects, Mr David Patraiko FNI, commented: "Mariners should take
advantage of every opportunity to improve their understanding of shiphandling,
to identify any additional learning they need and to arrange for this to
happen."

"The logbook should encourage
mentoring, which costs very little, if anything, and is essential to the
learning of shiphandling. If done well, it will lead to greater safety, as the
skill levels and confidence of officers will increase," he added.

This generic and easy-to-use logbook
includes a complete list of manoeuvres and understanding required under STCW.
The Shiphandling Logbook is an essential tool for all mariners,
regardless of ship and trade, who want to develop their professionalism, said a
release.
